Dear National Service Colleagues:
Earlier today, the full Senate Appropriations Committee reported out legislation recommending $876.5 million for the Corporation for National and Community Service and its programs for fiscal year 2007, the same figure as approved by the Labor-HHS-Education subcommittee on Tuesday. To see a detailed breakdown of that recommendation, see my budget update of July 18. We will provide a link to a copy of the bill report language as soon as it becomes public. Neither the House nor Senate has scheduled floor action on this spending bill.
Sincerely,
David Eisner
Chief Executive Officer
Corporation for National and Community Service

A Message from David Eisner
I have always had a drive to serve others and work for the common good. But I never fully realized that I could go beyond volunteerism--that my opinion and hard work could influence policy decisions. My views changed when I sat in the office of one of my legislators in Washington, DC.
